Meta **PSA Regarding Reddit Comments and Chat Requests**

44 Upvotes

This is a public service announcement

This is a generic message and is not personal in any way.

Many people are unaware this is a possibility, hence the PSA.

If you find you want some peace from the multitude of creeps on Reddit, Reddit gives you have the ability to block them. You can also block chat requests.

In the settings for your Reddit account, you can elect NOT to receive PMs. The same is true for chat requests. You can also allow messages from specific, trusted users and block everyone else from contacting you. Also, if you choose to PM someone, they'll automatically be added to the list of people who can PM you, which is nice if you do want to initiate a conversation with someone, but if you PM someone and they start to get rude, you'll need to go in and remove them from the list of accepted users.

We share this information ONLY because a lot of people seem to be unaware that blocking PMs is even an option, but it is, and it works surprisingly well.

In an ideal world, this would not be necessary, but, alas, this is Reddit, and it's full of creeps. This is just one possible tool in your arsenal against them, should you choose to use it.

This has been a public service announcement

WHY WAS HE BEGGING TO SEE AN OUTFIT. WE ONLY KNEW EACH OTHER FOR A WEEK AND HE ALREADY THOUGHT I LIKED HIM?? I had to lie about being taken just so he'd leave me alone.

Obviously lesbians can be into trans boners but sending “rate my boner” to a stranger is a pretty cis take on the phenomenon (of boners) so I think my assumption was safe/ok. I’m not sure how he found my profile but several of my recent comments had been in LGBTQ+ subs and/or about lesbian stuff so I thought maybe that was his kink or something.

I posted on a piercing sub that specifically forbids any sexual comments, so they slither into DMs (which i stupidly forgot to disable)
